I highly recomend the book A Child Called It by Dave Pelzer.  It is an eye opening story of child abuse and never giving up.  

Book available through Overdrive on Media Center webpage.

There are many types of diversity, and all can play a positive or negative role in teaching and learning.

Some examples are: 

Race and Ethnicity

During the civil rights movement, classrooms struggled with the integration of blacks into what was deemed a “white space.” Thankfully,  today’s classroom seeks to be a global learning environment that is open to students of all cultures.  Today’s classroom is a materialization of the distinct emblem of welcome authenticated by the Statue of Liberty. Teachers want to be sensitive to the needs of those students who do not fit into the common American races of blacks or whites.

Socio-Economic Status

Students are continually dealing with social and economic disparities. This can result in some students being more open, bold and confident while others shy away from more extraverted classroom activities,  such as role-plays, class presentations, group work and so forth.  The groups in this category that oftentimes could benefit from special attention in the classroom are those who do not meet the normative level of wealth and social status.

Gender

While gender has traditionally involved the clear distinction between male and female, there is also a third group – a group that represents a type of hermaphrodism that is either the result of biology or learned behaviors, and is often identified through the voluntary display of a preferential dress and/or behavior style.

Today’s teachers have to deal with this triangular gender existence. Again, the group that is often discriminated against and ill-treated by other students is the one that does not match the norm.

Age and Exceptionalities

Some age disparity exists in the classroom, as some students are older or younger than others either because they got a late start or are top performers who have moved more quickly through the grades. The students frowned upon are usually the much older or younger ones.

Religion and Culture

Religious diversity is a growing topic in today’s classrooms as students from all over the world struggle to maintain their varying cultural identities.

While many schools are not affiliated with any type of religion at all, students’ comments and lifestyles can oftentimes make their religious preferences clear. Those who feel isolated are normally those who are of religions that are not common in America, but can also be those who are members of religions popular in America that are currently under scrutiny or criticism.

Language

Language has become one of the main areas of diversity in the classroom. Language diversity involves students from other countries, as well as hearing impaired students who seek to enjoy “normal” schooling. Thus,  teachers struggle to deal with multiple language barriers, and again, the students who need the most attention are those who are unable to function at a normative level in English.

Learning Styles

Teachers who want to reach their zenith in classroom success need to take the time to understand the various learning styles. The number of these styles has undoubtedly increased right along with the growth in multiculturalism. Students of varying cultures learn in very unique ways.  For example, countries such as Japan promote more independent learning while American students are typically granted a bit more “hand-holding” through the learning process.

and there are many more...
